aflores61 try calling Republic Diesel in Louisville, they are about 30 miles from you. They do killer work on driveshafts, or you can call Louisville 4 wheel drive at 502-935-5501, they will point you in the right direction. Hope this helps. Who is installing your lift? Someone in the Radcliff/E-Town area?

 

who cares it will look freakin tight and i can't wait to see the pictures.. and if something actually breaks it will probably happen if you do some hard-core offroading but it will look bad *** and i can't wait to see this beast

 

raptorman01, thanks for the info I'll give republic diesel a call see if they lengthen my driveshaft. Me and my neighbor are doing the install tomorrow, I think he's more excited than me to see truck lifted. I'll keep everyone posted as much as I can.:santa:

 

mmkay and how many F150s do you know that have a straight front axle? people would DEFINITLY buy a F150 with a SAS, and they would pay more then for just a regular IFS F150, AND a SAS would be much cheaper then the route being taken.

 

How do you figure? Please explain.

 

Yeah, I'd like to know too, that doesn't make sense to me.



Hope you get some pics up soon, I'm excited to see this one.

 

I'd LOVE to hear this as well..

 

 

thats what i thought

anyways... cant wait to see some pics man! that thing is going to be sweeet . also if you wouldnt mind taking some pictures of you next to the truck so we can really get a feel for how tall it is.

 

yeah same here...

 

So...How did it go?

 

Guys and gals here are some pictures from the Lift Install. First of all the Rear end lift was a pain in the Rear...no pun intended. Both leaf springs were a hassle to remove because both front bolt were obstructed by something. The passenger side was obstructed by the muffler and the drivers was obstructed by the Fuel tank. We had to dropped both of them, we didn't remove them completely and wiggled and jiggled them until we were able to remove them. Then we come to find out that the rear brakeline, E-brake extension brackets and breather tube weren't in the Kit which I thought came with it. Go figure so thats the only thing left on the rear end to install. FYI a lot of big bolts on the rear ranging from 21mm to 29mm not to mention the small ones. Moving on to the front, which wasn't hard to dissemble, but have the right socket, preferably everything for an air ratchet in a 12 point mm socket.... very important. Well the front assemble gave us a little trouble because the bolt hole alignments for all the pieces are a little off so you got to work on it to get them through also the powder coating needs to be shaved off just a hair in certain places in order for it to go together, other than that I guess thats it but I have to finish the truck on Wednesday due to the Auto Craft shop being closed on Mon and Tues. This truck will be BIG!!!!

 

 

Oh I forgot to mention the tailpipe was in the way of the passenger side leaf spring so I had to cut a piece off. Oh and theres more pictures in my gallery.
